Camber Kit? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

HI~!

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE EIBACH SPRINGS FOR MY 2001 CAMRY I4 AND WAS WONDERING IF I NEED TO INSTALL CAMBER KIT AS WELL...
THE SPRINGS WILL LOWER ABOUT 1.2 INCHES ALL AROUND...

WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS THAT LOWERING 1.2INCHES IS NO BIG DEAL AND 4WHEEL ALIGNMENT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM.
IS THAT TRUE?

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

id have to disagree.. i have the eibach prokits on my 97.. inner tires were worn to the thread even with an alignment..

im hoping my not replacing the struts woulda caused this but i dunno really.. im gettin a camber kit installed when we put in the kyb's in january....

^ there's probably something else wrong with your suspension then...especially if you're only using the eibach prokit which has the smallest drop out of all the springs available

^seriously??, i really dont think that youll need a camber kit, 1.2 inches is not that much of a drop to severely affect the camber....

Eibach's generally on our cars drop it very conservatively. Essentially if your current struts are great, then your new springs should be able to accomodate the struts as well (i'm on trd+stock struts for the past 28K miles, and still going strong). You don't need a camber kit unless you had a problem with you suspension to being with. I'd just go to firestone and get their lifetime alignment warranty, thats what i have for my lowered cars. I take it every 6 months and its a piece of mind.

i dont see any harm in putting a camber kit on your car. it's good for your suspension.
